examples of neat simulations/animations for kids and

I was looking for some simluations and animations that I can use to entertain and educate adults and kids alike.

They can be from any fields of engineering and sciences. They just need to have that "wow" effects. After which the fundamental can be discussed in various depths depending on the needs.

is there a site where Mathworks has compiled a list of such things?

Also how come matlab isn't on stackexchange? You can have on id for all kinds of websites and softwares on there.

Thanks for any info everyone.

Animation can be done in matlab with ease, can you specify any problem in particular?

HI I was thinking optical illusions, illustrations of chaos theory, cellular automata, bifurcation diagrams, hypercubes, visuall patterns that arise form math etc.

They don't have to understand the math. Just be amazed at what math can do visually.

I hope that's more clear.

Look through the File Exchange. Examples of what you’re interested in are in this search.

Thank you. That helps a lot.

You might bend their minds with a simulation of the Monte Hall problem. Nothing to visually bedazzle them though, just a real mind-bending paradox. My simulation of it is attached.

I also include a program to draw a heart from a weird equation, for what it's worth.

You can see the following links which demonstrates making a animation in .gif and .avi:

Any problem follows the same, you plot the required with given data and proceed as the links above.
